Mount Rushmore, South Dakota

Rangel in Wyoming Grasslands

So yesterday we spent alllllllllll day in the car.  Even slept in it!  See the Logistics page on the top bar for my dad’s description of our moving hotel and restaurant.  The picture is me wearing my grandpa’s hat in the grasslands of Wyoming.   Belive me, there are lot of grasslands, like 10 hours of them.

But today was super exciting!  First we got up and had cheesy scrambled eggs. Then started our day by walking around the one thing I really wanted to see, Mount Rushmore!  It was really big.  We saw a big, white, fuzzy, bighorn sheep with a beard longer than my dad’s.  Did you know Mt. Rushmore is only half done?  Lincoln Borglun (the artist) died and his workers did not get to finish the sculpture.  Here is me with Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln.

Then we had lunch down the road next to a pond with small turltes pushing a fish around the edge.  After a relaxing lunch we went on a nice 2 mile hike on the Centenial Trail.  We saw hundruds of trees all different shapes and a thousand shades of green and splashed ourselves in a small creek next to the trail.

After leaving Mt. Rusmore we drove through the Black Hills National Forest.  It was nice to see trees again after so many hours of empty grasslands in Wyoming.  We had dinner at Humphrey’s Bar and Grill and I had the biggest cookie skillet desert you have ever seen.
